FURIA FURIA Brazil Rank #7 basic Luis Henrique Ferlin Tessaro Shyy Fabian Usnayo C0M Corbin Lee artzin Arthur Araujo koalanoob Gianfranco Potestio has unveiled their full team for the 2026 VCT season. Their main roster consists of Arthur "artzin" Araujo, Daniel "eeiu" Vucenovic, Gianfranco "koalanoob" Potestio, Michael "nerve" Yerrow, and Torogul "alym" Baidyldaev, with Ian "shaW" Jardim and Lucas "Kamino" Kamino serving as the coaching staff. Luis "basic" Henrique Ferlin Tessaro also remains on the roster as a 6th player.

After multiple years stuck at the bottom of the Americas league, FURIA look to break out of the doldrums by taking a new direction with their roster. For the first time in FURIA's history, they will field a primarily North American player roster, with four out of their five starters hailing from the region.

Of the four incoming NA representatives, eeiu is the most tenured player, having spent two full seasons in VCT Americas with 100 Thieves 100 Thieves North America Rank #1 Cryocells Matthew Panganiban Asuna Peter Mazuryk vora Jordan Pulwer Timotino Timothée Lavigne Dupont bang Sean Bezerra . The thieves have been up and down throughout those two years, peaking as high as the top of Americas and a fourth place finish at Masters Shanghai. Outside of that one run however, they have been unable to return to the international stage. Still, eeiu has been praised as one of the top Initiator players of the region, a role he will return to with FURIA.

Joining eeiu on FURIA is former teammate koalanoob. The pair played together on M80 M80 North America Rank #7 Kyu Mirel Braco Hrustemovic Spaz Adam Laamoumi Boni NiSMO Marc-Andre Tayar alvinboy Alvin Hong in 2023, and were on the cusp of winning Ascension, but fell short in the grand final against The Guard The Guard Inactive JonahP Jonah Pulice trent Trent Cairns neT Michael Bernet valyn Jacob Batio tex Ian Botsch (now G2 Esports G2 Esports North America Rank #4 jawgemo Alexander Mor BABYBAY Andrej Francisty trent Trent Cairns valyn Jacob Batio leaf Nathan Orf ). While eeiu moved on the following year to join 100 Thieves, koalanoob stuck it out another year with M80, and unfortunately met the same fate in Ascension, falling in the grand final to 2Game Esports 2Game Esports Brazil Rank #4 Brinks João Victor gobera Vitor Gobo qck Gabriel Lima xenom Eduardo Soeiro frz Leandro Gomes . He still got a shot in VCT, however, as he was signed to Natus Vincere Natus Vincere Europe Rank #23 Ruxic Uğur Güç hiro Emirhan Kat in EMEA for the first half of 2025. NAVI was a middle of the road team with koalanoob, placing in the top six of Stage 1. His year was then cut short as he was benched ahead of Stage 2. While koalanoob primarily played duelist throughout his career, he will take on the flex role with FURIA.

FURIA's other two NA players, alym and nerve, are both rookies coming from QoR QoR North America Rank #13 . The team struggled early on in the year, but hit a stride in Stage 3. They defeated the likes of ENVY ENVY North America Rank #9 Eggsterr Evan Grady nightz Christian Smith and Winthrop University Winthrop University North America Rank #45 Veyron strongtallguy62 Fair Governor Peter No infiltrator Philip Nguyen on a run to third place. They had an outside shot of reaching Ascension, but fell short in a five-map bout against TSM TSM Inactive . Now, both players will get their shot on the big stage, with alym as the primary Duelist player, and nerve taking the reins of IGL.

In addition to the NA talent, artzin will round out the roster as the sole Brazilian representative. He was with MIBR MIBR Brazil Rank #3 zekken Zachary Patrone tex Ian Botsch Mazino Roberto Rivas Verno Andrew Maust aspas Erick Santos for the past two years, and while 2024 was underwhelming, 2025 was a breakout year for both MIBR. artzin demonstrated a wide agent pool, and called for the team as IGL for half the season, as the team reached two international events, including a top six finish at Champions. He will now return to the Sentinel role to complete FURIA's roster.
